A mysterious power spot created by nature.
Ryugu Sea Cave is a tourist attraction representing Izu Shimoda, located in the Tago area of Shimoda City at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula.
In the southern part of the Izu Peninsula, deposits from underwater volcanoes about a million years ago have accumulated widely. The strata of these deposits have been uplifted due to crustal movements, creating the current landscape. Sea caves, or "sea-eroded caves," are formed when waves strike the cliffs of the coast and erode softer strata and faults; Ryugu Sea Cave is one of these.
Furthermore, the ceiling of Ryugu Sea Cave has collapsed, creating a skylight about 50 meters in diameter. This skylight is one of the largest in Izu. When you enter the cave, you can enjoy the clear, cobalt blue sea, the beautiful yellow-brown strata of the cave, the streaming light, and the mysterious space woven by nature.
Also, there is a promenade built above the cave, and from it, the inside of the cave appears heart-shaped, making it a popular spot for couples.
The layers of volcanic debris formed by underwater volcanoes are beautiful and mystical.
Peeking into the interior from the gaping skylight reveals a heart shape!
A signature tourist spot in Izu Shimoda.
